Experts are warning that cuts the One Big Beautiful Bill Act makes to Medicaid pose a significant threat to rural hospitals, but hospitals across Virginia are bracing for the impact.

The new law imposes work requirements for adults age 19 to 64 — mandating at least 80 hours of employment per month to keep coverage, with only narrow exemptions.

In a head-spinning move on Tuesday, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced legislation that would repeal cuts to Medicaid he helped make possible only two weeks ago.

Some Wisconsin residents will see major changes to their health care in the coming years as a result of the massive tax and spending bill passed by Congress this month.

The Congressional Budget Office estimated Medicaid policy changes in the bill could leave 7.8 million people uninsured by 2034.
